Win totals set the weight.

1 · Find the multiplier 1 + 0.10 × (8.5 − win total)

2 · Score the pick Classic points × multiplier

A team at 8.5 wins is neutral at 1.0×. Each win below 8.5 adds 0.10×; each win above subtracts 0.10×.

Minnesota at 7.5 wins gets a 1.10× multiplier, so a correct 5-point Wild Card pick earns 5.50 points. A 10.5-win team gets a 0.80× multiplier, making that same pick worth 4.00 points.

Each correct pick is weighted directly—there is no separate bonus. Values are rounded to the nearest hundredth before they are added. Incorrect or missing picks earn zero.

Later-round credit still follows the team advancing, even if you missed its matchup. The same team picked for the same result is always worth the same amount.

Values use the app’s fixed 2026 FanDuel/DraftKings win-total snapshot from VegasInsider. They are set before the season; live odds and other brackets never change a pick’s value.
